    We had dinner here to celebrate my son’s birthday. The menu is fun and had a good variety without having too much to choose from. The food was outstanding. We all chose something different and everyone loved what they chose. The drinks were flowing and the vibe was perfect for his celebration. Our waiter and the restaurant manager were so great to us and really helped us celebrate this milestone birthday. We will definitely be coming back over and over again.

    This was a special dinner celebration in honor of the Chinese New Year. MacFam staff are some of the most welcoming, friendly and caring crew. The food was a treat- sesame meatballs, curry green beans, fried eggplant and crab noodles all were delicious. Guests received great bag also. This was a very fun evening. The staff and food are amazing!
